The Bethesda Blog has a logo for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dawnguard, presumably DLC for Bethesda's RPG sequel. This is followed by a blurb saying "Coming this summer to Xbox 360. More details at E3." Presumably it is coming to the Windows and PS3 editions of the game as well. E3 2012 begins June 5th.

Yeah you're right. I got into this weird situation where half of my mods are through the Nexus Mod Manager and the other half are in Steam Workshop. I've never been 100% comfortable using either for some reason, I think I need to just bite the bullet, wipe everything and only use one from now on.

A delay of a month is completely irrelevant to me, especially when I have so many great games and will be playing a lot of Diablo III by then. Sure it would be nice if Microsoft also gave PC users some love - especially as they created Windows and DirectX... it's not like they don't have any interest in it - but it has already shown complete contempt for the PC gaming market and there's no signs of that changing.

The only problem I find with long waits between replays of Elder Scrolls games is that you almost need a big mod refresher course. Stuff you used before will inevitably be outdated and new incompatibilities will be found. I always feel like its a bunch of work to get back into them so I like to play them right away, that's what kind of sucks about the wait for DLC.

I can't really play without the mods either of course, many are so good I consider them vital to the experience. Oh well!

They're probably going to kit it out for Windows at the same time. I think MS paid for console exclusivity. I could be wrong, though.

You're wrong. MS paid for timed exclusivity across all platforms. That's what they did with Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, the CoD games, GTA4, etc. They want to screw all non-Xbox owners, regardless of whether you're on PC or PS3.

Actually, what Microsoft really wants is for every household to have an XBox in addition to a PC running Windows. Or multiples of each. But really, who will give a shit after the 30 days is up?

It's like Todd Howard sits there wondering just HOW he can piss people the fuck off. "well, those damn PC pirates have had my game in the Steam top 10 for going on six straight months now, so let's make the DLC 360 exclusive!"

And yes, before some boring corporate assdrone comes on to whine how this was agreed on before the game released, it still fucking sucks ass, so shut up.

and it still sold less than on the 360. /wickedgrin

Are you sure that's actually still the case? Console sales drop off sharply once a game is out. Over the long run, I'd be surprised if Skyrim didn't outsell the 360 by a good bit.
